A name rooted in purpose


Mae is named in honor of Dr. May Edward Chinn, the first Black woman to graduate from what is now NYU School of Medicine. Barred from hospital practice, she built her own, serving Black families in Harlem who were denied care elsewhere.
Her story is a reminder that resilience, innovation, and compassion have always been at the center of community care. Our name is a tribute to her—and to the doulas, birth workers, and advocates who continue that legacy today.
As seen in
Mae's work has been featured in national publications and recognized for its impact on maternal health, equity, and innovation.
